Business Description

Commercial Metals Company (CMC) is an international enterprise specializing in the production, recycling, and fabrication of steel and metal products, along with providing related services. The company serves markets across the United States, Poland, China, and other international regions. A significant facet of its business involves processing and marketing a wide array of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals. These raw materials are supplied to a diverse clientele, including steel mills, foundries, aluminum sheet and ingot producers, brass and bronze ingot makers, copper refineries, secondary lead smelters, specialty steel manufacturers, and high-temperature alloy fabricators. Commercial Metals Company manufactures and distributes a comprehensive range of finished long steel products. These encompass reinforcing bars (rebar), merchant bars, light structural sections, and various other specialized profiles.

Specializing in custom-fabricated steel products, the company's offerings are primarily utilized for concrete reinforcement. Such products are integral to the construction of a wide array of structures, from commercial and residential buildings, healthcare facilities, and convention centers to industrial and power plants, highways, bridges, and expansive public venues like arenas, stadiums, and dams. Beyond its fabrication activities, CMC supplies construction-related equipment and products, both for sale and rent, catering to concrete installers and other commercial enterprises. Additionally, the firm produces niche items such as robust strength bars for the truck trailer industry, specialized bar steels engineered for the energy market, and armor plates designated for military vehicles. These diverse metal solutions, including various rebar forms, merchant bars, wire rods, fabricated meshes, and pre-assembled rebar cages, reach a broad customer base encompassing fabricators, manufacturers, distributors, and construction firms. Founded in 1915, Commercial Metals Company maintains its corporate headquarters in Irving, Texas.

Business History
Revenue & Net Income Trend
The directional story — useful even when net income is negative.
Last updated: Jun 21, 2026 6:56pm (5d ago)
Revenue
The top line — total sales before any costs or taxes are subtracted. A measure of how much business the company is doing.
Net Income
The bottom line — profit left after subtracting all expenses, interest, and taxes from revenue. Reflects accounting profitability, but includes non-cash items like depreciation, so it isn't the same as cash earned.
Operating Cash Flow
The real cash generated by the day-to-day business — selling products, paying suppliers, collecting from customers. Calculated from net income by adding back non-cash items and adjusting for timing (unpaid bills, unsold inventory). When OCF consistently lags net income, the reported profit may not be converting to real money.
